This back in the day teen star turned one film adult actress which everyone knows, is back with a reboot  and still has not lost her temper.

She walked into a restaurant and started yelling at her husband how she told him she didn’t want to eat there and he needed to get the f**k up right then and leave with her.

The Steamy Drama That Ruined Elizabeth Berkley’s Career

On paper, the 1995 drama “Showgirls” sounded like a surefire hit. It reunited the team behind “Basic Instinct,” director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, and brought in a beloved former teen actress ready to break out into adult roles.

But the movie, which follows Elizabeth Berkley’s character Nomi as she climbs the Las Vegas hierarchy to become a showgirl, ended up being a flop. “Showgirls” ultimately earned far less than the production budget at the box office and received downright scathing reviews for the unintentionally hilarious dialogue, absurd tone, and geometrically impossible sex scenes. In a typical review from 1996, William Thomas of Empire wrote that the film was “about as genuinely arousing as intricately-choreographed nude livestock.”

Verhoeven, at least, continued to make films such as “The Hollow Man”, while Berkley was quickly dropped by her agent and couldn’t land another movie (via the Los Angeles Times). The story has a somewhat happy ending, as “Showgirls” has been rightfully embraced as a camp classic over the years, and Berkley became an icon for her role as Nomi. However, she did acknowledge how hard it was on her at the time of release. “1995 was such a different time, where taking risks like that were not embraced. They were laughed at. They were shamed publicly. To be a young girl in the center of that was something that was quite difficult,” she said at a 20th-anniversary screening of the movie, via TooFab – Source
